Premier League clubs are already competing for his signature. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/newcastle-offer-rabiot-man-utd-loose-cannon-milinkovic-savic\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One report indicates Newcastle United have offered \u20ac5 million per season<\/a> to tempt the midfielder to St. James Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/06\/20\/manchester-united-set-for-sale\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United Set for Sale as Final Offer has &#8220;Slipped Ahead&#8217; of others.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Juventus will be able to compete financially with some of the offers from the Premier League.

But they can&#8217;t offer him one absolutely vital thing, Champions League football.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils have been linked with the dynamic midfielder for over a year now. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/05\/14\/manchester-united-adrien-rabiot-free-transfer\/\" target=\"_self\">A report in May<\/a> indicated that they saw the midfielder as a priority addition, and they&#8217;re able to offer him Champions League football to boot. Newcastle can do the same, with the Tyneside club having secured their place in Europe&#8217;s top competition.<\/p>\n<h3>Juventus Remain Interested<\/h3>\n<p>The French international is coming off a good season for Juventus having found the net 11 times across all competitions. Although he can be deployed as a defensive midfielder, he does his best work as a box-to-box player. You wouldn&#8217;t say he was the best finisher in the league, but he&#8217;s confident in the air, strong on the ball and confident in possession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/05\/24\/bayern-munich-target-declan-rice-adrien-rabiot\/\" target=\"_self\">Bayern Munich Identify Declan Rice and Adrien Rabiot as Summer Targets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rabiot&#8217;s contract doesn&#8217;t expire until June 30. This gives his current club just over a week to convince the midfielder to stay in Turin. If that fails, it&#8217;s likely he&#8217;ll find a new home sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_624593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-624593\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-624593 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Adrien-Rabiot-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Adrien Rabiot\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Adrien-Rabiot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Adrien-Rabiot-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Adrien-Rabiot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Adrien-Rabiot.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-624593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrien Rabiot, Ben Sutherland: https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bensutherland\/25641806116\/ CC by 2.0: https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q19125117<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to football insider Fabrizio Romano, Juventus will fight until the very end to keep out-of-contract midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
